Estimation of forest ecosystem disturbance has considerable significance for sustainable management and utility of forest resources. This paper presents the results of investigation of forest ecosystem disturbance for Southwest of Central Russian upland by using remote sensing data. The key factors of forest ecosystem disturbance were established on the basis of field research materials and multi-temporal Landsat satellite images. The table of forest disturbance in upper tiers was prepared. Field studies conducted in various parts of the region showed that there are disturbance factors that impact forests, but not their upper tiers. It is problematic to assess these impacts using optical satellite data. There are practically no undisturbed forest ecosystems in the region. More than 75% of forests in the region are characterized by low degree of forest stand disturbance due to the impact of clear-felling, fires and other factors that have been affecting over the past decades. Strongly disturbed forest ecosystems cover about 5.3% forest lands. The map of stand disturbance of forest ecosystems of Southwest of Central Russian upland was prepared using the disturbance categories.
Keywords: forest, disturbed ecosystems, satellite imagery, Landsat, Southwest of Central Russian upland, Belgorod Region
